The two questions everyone asks before a recruitment video are "what will it cost?" and "how long will it take?". We don't publish a price list, because every project is different, but the same few things drive both, and it helps to know what they are.

What drives the cost

Pre-production. Working out the roles, the people, the questions and the shot list. It's the part people underestimate, and the part that makes the edit work.
Days on site. More locations, more roles and more interviews mean more filming time.
The edit. Length, graphics, captions, music and how many versions you need.
Extras. Aerial footage or a voiceover add value, and add time.
Travel. If your site is a long way from us, travel is part of the cost. It's always set out in the quote up front.

How long it takes

Every project is different, but a typical recruitment video runs like this:

Planning: one to two weeks, depending on how quickly we can talk to the right people
Filming: usually one or two days on site
Editing: usually two to four weeks from shoot to finished video, including two rounds of revisions

If you've got a hard deadline, like a recruitment drive or a careers expo, tell us early and we'll plan around it.

Getting the most from your budget

Plan several roles or locations into the same filming day
Ask for the short social media versions as part of the main edit, not later
Use the footage for job ads, your careers page and onboarding
Have your people and the site ready on the day, so filming time isn't wasted

How we quote

We start with a short call to understand the roles, the site and what you want the video to do. Then you get a fixed quote in writing that sets out exactly what's included. If the budget is tight, we'll say so and give you options. You choose.
